Walked out of this movie during the Kessel Run (second viewing)
Seeing this movie once was bad enough, it was so dull and boring, but I had free time and there was nothing else on, so I thought I'd give Soylo another try, but MAN, I was bored stupid even more than before! It doesn't say much about a movie if it's meant to engage you, especially if you're a sci-fi action fan, but its probably because I don't like Pretty Boy playing Solo, don't care at all for the endless romance scenes between him and his teenage crush, and just can't take Woody Harrelson seriously. Only Chewie looks, acts and sounds right, but it's like he's surrounded by people none of us know, and Pretty Boy looks nothing like a younger Harrison Ford. NOTHING. The only character I halfway liked was that alien multi-armed pilot, but he died.
I think the problem with the movie is that it's a prequel, and we know Han and Chewie and Lando all live to feature in the OT, so there's no danger. Not only that, but it's a HEIST movie, and to be frank, I hate heist movies. I've grown to despise Baby Driver for the same reason, among others.
And lastly, I can see why the boycott happened, and I wish I knew nothing about the movie, I would've preferred to have my own imaginative thoughts about Han Solo came about as a smuggler. I really don't want to see the imagination of several Someone Elses immortalised in film portrayed as fact, I think none of us did. I really hate Hollywood most times these days.
